Rod Stewart - Young Turks

u902124

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket

and a head full of dreams.

He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this.
Patti packed her bags, left a note for her momma, 

she was just seventeen,

There were tears in her eyes 

when she kissed her little sister goodbye.
 

They held each other tight as they drove on 

through the night they were so excited.
We got just one shot of life, 

let's take it while we're still not afraid.

Because life is so brief and 

time is a thief when you're undecided.
And like a fistful of sand, 

it can slip right through your hands.

Young hearts be free tonight.
Time is on your side,
Don't let them put you down, 

don't let 'em push you around,
don't let 'em ever change your point of view.

 [Instrumental]

Paradise was closed so they headed 

for the coast in a blissful manner.
They took a tworoom apartment 

that was jumping ev'ry night of the week.

Happiness was found in each other's arms as expected,
yeah Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh!

Young hearts be free tonight.
Time is on your side,
Don't let them put you down,
don't let 'em push you around,
don't let 'em ever change your point of view.

 [Instrumental Verse]

Billy wrote a letter back home 

to Patti's parents tryin' to explain.
He said we're both real sorry t

hat it had to turn out this way.

But there ain't no point in talking 

when there's nobody list'ning so we just ran away
Patti gave birth to a ten pound baby boy, yeah!

Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side.
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side.
Young hearts be free tonight, time in on your side.

Young hearts gotta run free, be free, live free
Time is on, time is on your side

Time, time, time, time is on your side
is on your side
is on your side
is on your side

Young heart be free tonight
tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah
